- Zul will start training on Mon for 2 months with BAM players. Zul is thrilled with the opportunity to play in Axiata Cup & train together with the BAM gang.
- Zul will train under Hendrawan, his dad will not be there. Zul says he might train with his dad during weekends
- He has to wear the Malaysia shirt with Yonex logo when playing in Axiata Cup or team events but can use Forza racket & shoes.
Zul says its the normal rules since WJC, AJC time, as long as can use his sponsor's racket, no problemo

Zul has best of both worlds, freedom to choose tournaments to play in and chance to train with the best(Datuk lah)
Chris, I think Zul will know how to work his way thru as per the training program, it's Hendrawan. Hendrawan, can discuss2 one

Zulfadli Zulkifli is under Hendrawan

It's good that Zulfadli Zulkifli is under Hendrawan. Zul can learn more deceptive net play.

Note that this arrangement will only last till the end of Thomas Cup 2012. After that, we shall see if Zul agrees to join the BAM set-up permanently or returns back to KLRC for tournament sponsorship.

Many INA clubs take credits and at the same time rewards these club players if any of their players emerge as World Champions or Olympics Champions under the National Team set-up. Of course, these players still pledge their allegiance to their clubs and will render their service whenever needed for inter-clubs tourneys like the Indonesian National Championships or Superliga Badminton.

For example: Jaya Raya's (Pak Ciputra) owner is proud that his club is still the club that produces the most number of Olympics winners! In PB Djarum's website, it was still written that "Liem Swie King was the first player from PB Djarum to win an All-England title!" or "Alan Budikusuma was the first player to win an Olympics medal for Indonesia".

So, I don't think there's anything wrong for KLRC to write "Zulfadli Zulkiffli is the first player from KLRC to win xxx or reach the top 10" in their website, if he does achieve that even after he joins BAM!

As I wrote before, clubs and the national association should co-exist and work hand-in-hand to ensure success for the future of badminton in that country....and not to be rivals of one another as if if one exists, the other one must disappear.

It's for 2 months, not permanent ya. After Aviata Cup ends, Zul goes back to his normal training program. Even if long term, Zul is still KLRC player & also sponsored by/obligated to Forza. Sthing like Hafiz last time - he was with Nusa but 'loaned' to BAM, the club players have more freedom than BAM players in terms of rules and choice of tournaments to participate.

BAM has not announced what is the program planned for the group of players in the 2016 TC/OG special squad - Zul is named as part of this group. Dont think they have thought of anything concrete yet. They will just call up Zul when there's centralised training, as like WJC, AJC time
